that's an intentional feature for kickoff; having buttons that pop up menus on 
a desktop is .. well .. inane.

i'd be fine with coming up with a generic mechanism for a user to "collapse" or 
"iconify" PopupApplets, but setting this inside the code such that the 
launcher is always a popup no matter where it is just won't fly.

think about it: ctrl+f12, click to open, navigate, select something.

the first two actions are redundant.

as such, i'm not in favour of this patch; it's not something individual 
applets should be trying to decide for the user.
